Housing Woes

[NotOliverB]

Well thank you for your reply and explanation, but you've just said exactly what I already said about handing in items in bulk to level up the FC. You just went into more detail about it. My point was that it's not possible to do this in just a few minutes as you claimed and you've just confirmed that I was correct in that statement.

I also can't help but notice that the economy on your server is considerably different to mine. We don't have an abundance of 170+ items on the marketboard, and certainly not at prices you'd want to pay in bulk (nothing like 5k each!). However, we also have a lot of available houses/choice and from what I understand that's not the case on your server.

If you want a true tip to levelling an FC fast, just buy one from another player who's already levelled it. There's always people moving server who have them to offload and even with the marketboard prices you're paying, it'll be cheaper too.

I feel sorry you cannot comprehend that I got enough FC points in that video to level up an FC to rank 6 in minutes. Nothing lost since you didn't understand that I can spend 160k GC points to make more money than what I spent on those unwanted high level items. Cheaper, right.

I think at most you proved that sure, you can do this very specific thing, on your server, with some amount of prep work before hand (that did not have it's time added into the over all time, so the results are skewed).

This worked for you, specifically, but it isn't likely to work for everyone. It's not viable. Every server has a different economy/MB selection. Not every server is going to have easy access to these things that made this so easy for you.

So, cool, good for you for being able to level a GC super fast (although I'd say it took more than the 2 minutes you originally claimed).

Hours? I've done it in two minutes lol.

The fact you can do this though isn't helpful to anyone else, and just feels like a statement made to either brag, or to mislead people on what they should really be doing to reasonably level a GC. You provided nothing genuinely helpful that doesn't apply to very specific circumstances. Is your method something they can look into? Sure, but you didn't provide the method the first time around when the subject came up, suggesting your intention wasn't even to be helpful to begin with. It feels like your intention here is just to be argumentative.


Back on topic, the housing situation is pretty awful. Best you can do is find a way to make the system work for you until they change it, and in the mean time, keep fighting to get them to change it. Upgraded apartments and instanced housing would fix literally everything, they just seem to be sitting on their hands refusing to try either of these things.

Already went over this. If you don't already purchase various items on the market board that are way under priced, that's on you. If you want to waste 6 hours of your life leveling up an FC non stop by using archaic methods, sure go ahead. If your server's economy is in shambles, what are you even doing there leveling an FC on your own? Just move elsewhere already. Anyway, the lala said it wasn't possible and I demonstrated that it can be done. How argumentative of me~

That being said, I do have to agree with the last part of your post. Housing's in a terrible state right now. The plots are way too affordable and the auto-demolition timer is way too long. Bring back the original prices from 2.1 and shorten the demolition timer to a week at most.

Pricing and the demoltion timer are hardly the problem when it comes to housing. How about they increase availability through more plots/wards or add instanced housing? You know, solutions to real problems.

The real solution is going back to how things were when nobody complained about not owning a house. Housing is quite literally the only gil sink this game has. Oddly enough, they lowered the prices twice and dramatically increased the amount of available plots despite having dead/empty servers. No wonder everyone and their lalafell want feel entitled to own a house.

I've mentioned this in a similar thread, every single day on Gilgamesh you can spot new empty plots. It is safe to assume that most of these are the result of the auto demolition. Avg that number of available plots on a daily basis to 5. That's 5 times 45 days. Talk about a waste of time for people that are looking into purchasing a house. Drop that timer to 7 days, no one will be able to complain about other players keeping houses they "don't use"

That is one stupid idea. You realize people take vacations longer than 7d right?

FCs already have minimum amount of players to purchase a house and personal home owners can have tenants. Make tenants count towards reseting the timer. Checkmate.

Is there reason why you are posting in another account instead of your main one?

[MaybeOliverB]

Main one? How do you know which of my 5 accounts is my main one lmao. Forums use the same login as the mog station and lodestone, guessing you're new here.

Single player owned homes.... your argument is invalid.
